Missing M




Life is not measured

By the number

Of breaths we take...

But by the moments

That take our breath away...




She did not take any breaths in this world...

But holding her in my arms...

Took my breath away...

Missing you M...

We have a crawler




8 Months...You Amaze Me...

I could sit for hours

Just watching you

Watching you discover the world around you

It amazes me

I love that you turn your head when we say your name

Love to watch you sit and play with your toys - smiling - laughing at them - picking them up - hugging them

Love to watch you pick up pieces of food - getting them into your mouth

Love that you dance when you hear music or when we sing to you

Love that you have discovered how to move about - one leg behind - one leg in front

Love when you reach your arms out for me to pick you up

Love how excited you get when you see your milk

Love that you recognize a song (moi et mon ami Riley)

Love when you fall asleep in my arms

Love to see you smile

To hear you laugh

Every day

You amaze me

Christmas Tree is Up....







Christmas Time

All I need for Christmas is my family...







10 Years Old

December 10th, 2011‎

10 years ago today, we welcomed Olivier into the world - we became a family...I stood back and looked at him...mon petit coco...and I asked myself - where has time gone...He has grown up before my eyes...And as I watch him grow, watch him change, I also realize that our relationship is also changing, also growing...we talk to each other, we are close, I can now see the bond we have...and I cherish every moment...Bonne Fête mon grand! Je t'aime.

They were crowned Champions of the tournament after beating Les Ducs de Laval 6-1 in the finals.

Bravo les gars!!

Go Pantheres Go!!








Santa Claus Parade

Every Christmas as a kid, we would go to the church and then rush home to have a bowl of soup before heading off to see the Santa Claus Parade. What great memories...

And now its my turn to bring my boys...








L'Armada de Blainville-Boisbriand





Olivier and Joshua were lucky to have been chosen to play hockey during one of the Armada's home game.

Olivier with his Atome CC team and Josh with the Deux-Montagnes Novice.

How exciting it was for them - an evening they will not soon forget....
